Emergency Measures Organization
Respond to Disaster
Canada"s system of emergency management places primary responsibility for responding to emergencies at the municipal level, and this responsibility remains intact regardless of how large an emergency grows. The critical role of municipalities in responding to an emergency requires an on-going commitment to build these resources at the community level.
